It is more conventionally styled than the previous car, but it does keep the wraparound windows at the back and the large proportions.

The car's three-metre wheelbase means there's plenty of room for seven adults and their luggage. The third row of seats can be removed entirely to increase luggage capacity even further.

Power comes from a 153bhp 2.0-litre diesel connected to either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic. The Rodius comes in rear-wheel-drive form as standard, but a four-wheel-drive version will be available as an option.
